These functions no longer need to be called by drivers, so
just drop this section from the documentation.

So unfortunately I think you need to keep some kind of API for
this for all drivers that do not use GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP.

-Locking IRQ usage
------------------
-Input GPIOs can be used as IRQ signals. When this happens, a driver is requested
-to mark the GPIO as being used as an IRQ::
-
-	int gpiochip_lock_as_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset)
-
-This will prevent the use of non-irq related GPIO APIs until the GPIO IRQ lock
-is released::
-
-	void gpiochip_unlock_as_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset)
-
-When implementing an irqchip inside a GPIO driver, these two functions should
-typically be called in the .startup() and .shutdown() callbacks from the
-irqchip.
-
-When using the gpiolib irqchip helpers, these callback are automatically
-assigned.
